40 Type 150/400 Autopilot System: Installation Guide
Step 9
9.3 Connecting optional components
GyroPlus yaw sensor
The Type 150 and Type 400 course computers do not contain a
built-in GyroPlus, but you have the option of adding:
• an external GyroPlus (part number: M81162)
• or a dealer-fitted internal GyroPlus (part number: A18069)
Handheld remotes
You can connect handheld remotes to the autopilot system:
• the ST600R remote control unit (part number: A12016) can act
as the sole pilot control unit in your system or as a full-function
remote for systems with other fixed pilot control units
• the compact SeaTalk handheld remote (part number: A15002)
gives you full course control away from the main steering
position
External alarm
The autopilot system sounds an off-course alarm from all control
units. On large and/or noisy boats you can fit a Raymarine external
alarm (part number: Z035, connected though E85001 interface box)
as a high volume repeater.
Wind vane (sail boats)
The course computer can use wind angle information from a wind
vane or instrument to maintain a course relative to the wind. You can
provide wind angle information to the autopilot system by connecting
it to:
• a suitable SeaTalk or NMEA instrument (providing wind angle
and speed information)
or
• a Raymarine pushpit wind vane (part number: Z159) connected
through an interface box (part number: M81189)
Í
To install any of these options, refer to the information supplied with the
component.
